Updating Your Holiday Hours on Google?
Easy as Pumpkin Pie.
Wednesday, November 23, 2016
Heather Mohorn, owner of Momo’s Tree House, adds special hours on Google to let last-minute shoppers know when her business is open. “The holiday hours feature makes it easy to communicate [changes in hours] to customers,” she says. “It reduces the number of phone calls we receive to ask whether we’re open, which is nice when we’re busy wrapping those last-minute gifts on Christmas Eve.”
With Google My Business, you can update your business info on Google for free to ensure that your phone number, address, and hours of operation are correct so customers can find you this season (and beyond).
To help you make the most of the season, we put together a holiday workshop filled with tips for using the web to connect with shoppers. Preview the section on updating your holiday hours above, or watch the entire workshop at
gybo.com/livestream
.
For a list of step-by-step instructions on how to update your hours on Google My Business,

We hope this is one thing you can easily check off your holiday to-do list.
Cheers,
